ASHTON KUTCHER ponied up to his new "Two and a Half Men" castmates JON CRYER and a grown-up looking ANGUS T. JONES on Wednesday at the CBS upfront wing ding at  Lincoln Center in New York.

Kutch, natch,  posed for a plethora of pix with his new costars 

And on his popular Twitter page Wednesday, Kutch linked to a picture of himself mugging with his two co-stars, with the caption "First cast argument 2.5 men."

Kutcher is said to be snaring $1 million per ep, half of the historical pay day his predecessor Charlie Sheen banked during his tenure.

In the meantime, the show's executive producer and creator CHUICK LORRE has been working on a new storyline that would make the transition from Sheen, 45, to Kutcher, 33, a seamless one.
